Patience Lovell Wright, whose traveling waxworks exhibit preceded Madame Tussaud's work by 30 years, became well known as much because of having an eccentric personality as for having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax.
well known as much because of having an eccentric personality as for having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax
well known as much for having an eccentric personality as for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures
well known as much because of her eccentric personality as she was for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures
as well known for having an eccentric personality as having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax
as well known for her eccentric personality as for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures
even if you consider that gerund to be a noun, it still isn't parallel to the other half of the construction.
if you changed it to
as much for having an eccentric personality as for making skillful wax renderings of popular public figures
then we could talk about it. but, as written now, it's clearly inferior to (e).
* find the second part of the comparison (after the signal)
* figure out what the first thing should be (to create parallelism)
* see if it's there
E:
the second thing (after 'as') is for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures.
for + THING
...so the first thing should be for her eccentric personality.
this exact construction is there.
B:
the second thing (after 'as') is for skillful wax renderings of popular public figures.
for + THING
...so the first thing should be for her eccentric personality.
this isn't there. instead we have "for + verbING".
E = clear winner, B = clear loser.
choice a: bad parallelism
because of... is not parallel to for...
choice b exhibits poor parallelism:
having an eccentric personality is placed in parallel with skilful wax renderings....
choice c: extremely bad parallelism
- one part is a phrase (because of ...), and the other part is a complete clause (she was for her ...)
- same issue as choice a, because vs. for
choice d: bad parallelism
- you can't get rid of the 'for' in the second part (it should be '...as for having...')
- wordy (compare with the compact wording in choice e)
choice e exhibits proper parallelism, in that both of the parallel items are noun phrases (the principal nouns being personality and renderings).
不应该是be well known as much... as...
B里的那个having选的时候就觉得别扭，前后也不平行
将well known看成形容词，as good as而不是is good as much as
=He became well known as much for A as for B
=He became well known for A as much as for B
B，became well known as much for ... as for ...，分析里面的as……as结构，became well known as much as，well作副词修饰known时已经表示程度，如A do sth as well as B，不再加much，所以as直接放在well前面， became as well known for ... as for ...

语法笔记上是用并列平行来做的这个题。D都是for名词，比B优选，勉强这样理解了。as应该放在前后都对。
能将E改写为以下的句子吗？Patience Lovell Wright became well known （for her eccentric personality） as well as （for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures）
我好像记得as xxx as里面的xxx可以提出来也可以放进去
